How does the method for solving equations with fractional or decimal coefficients and constants compare with the method for solving equations with integer coefficients and constants?

Solving equations with fractional or decimal coefficients involves an extra step. To make the equation easier to solve, the first thing you want to do is turn the fractions or decimals into whole numbers. To do so, you either multiply or divide accordingly. When solving equations with integer coefficients and constants, this extra step is not necessary.
